At the Kazaly Transport and Technical Higher College, a library hour titled “Read Poetry with Your Heart” was held, dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the outstanding figure of Kazakh poetry, master of words, M. Makataev.

The purpose of the event was the broad popularization of the poet’s heritage among the younger generation, increasing interest in reading books, as well as fostering humanity, patriotism, love, and a sensitive attitude toward life through his poetry.
